After we talked about the idea of creating a mobile application – working title Sheffield App – we wanted to take away two actions: 1) Work out use cases 2) Create some first designs I’ve started with the [...]

Hat tip and thanks to Chris Osborne and his team from ITO, who have converted a lot of the TransXChange and NaPTAN data that we have for the Transport Hack Day into the GTFS open format. He’s also put together some pointers below for collaborators to quickly get up to speed and sink their teeth into the datasets. The [...]

Stuart Grimshaw started the forum topic Travel Time Data in the group Open Data: 1 year, 1 month ago

Is there any data on how long it takes to get from point A in Sheffield to Point B in Sheffield? There was some research done for London that show a heat map of the travel times between two locations. Tie that into crime data & house price data, local amenities and you’ve got a [...]

Chris Murray started the forum topic Travel Disruption & Messaging in the group Open Data: 1 year, 1 month ago

I’d be interested to see live travel disruption data. It would be great to build something to let me know if I should take a different route, maybe automatically email/twitter me every morning with current/planned disruptions to my usual routes. Similarly, how about a feed of the messages shown on the matrix signs? Lots of [...]

Hannah York started the forum topic Caught out by school services in the group Open Data: 1 year, 1 month ago

It would also be handy to work out a way to predict school leaving times and bus times as I once got caught without a bus on a cold corner for 40 minutes in a village because I tried to catch the bus just after school turned out and there wasn’t a school bus for [...]

Hannah York started the forum topic Public Transport Access to Digital Inclusion Centres in the group Open Data: 1 year, 1 month ago

I’d like to match up my data on digital inclusion activities in South Yorkshire with bus info so that we could advise people what their nearest stop is and what time they’d need to set off to get to class on time.

Stuart Grimshaw posted on the forum topic Transport Hack Day 2011 – Interested Participants in the group Open Data: 1 year, 1 month ago

I’m really looking forward to this Saturday, some of the things I’d like to look at: 1) Improving http://thenextbus.appspot.com so it doesn’t have to page scrape any more. 2) Extending it to include “I am I want to be there” type functionality 3) Can we create sheffieldstreets.org.uk like BristolStreets.org.uk ? (Ok, this is gettheirsooner) 4) [...]

Jag Gill wrote a new blog post Response to Transparency Code Consultation in the group Open Data: 1 year, 2 months ago

As far as the Communities and Local Government proposal for local authority transparency does go, there are still questions about the type of datasets it mandates, the support it provisions for facilitating informed dialogue about data-driven democratic accountability, the standard of consistency it will drive and where it fits in an increasingly…[Read more]
